Comfortable, cozy atmosphere. Knowledgeable pourers. Their purchaser has a good palate. Since everyone has different preferences, it is nice that they let you taste the wine first. Not a singles bar, but most patrons are single.Definitely worth trying

Whether you are looking for a romantic experience or just to try wines you can't find elsewhere, this is your place. KP and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the wine and beer experience. Try it once and you will be back for more. Karaoke on Tuesday nite is a fun time to try some wine and howl like a wolf...

Dude, seriously, this is a spot to never miss, I have been several times, and never have I had a bed experience. The owners are extremely knowledgable, the regulars are friendly and approachable and new people are treated as family. Cozy environment and family friendly. I bring my daughter once in a while so she can hang out with me. I sit around and watch her dance with a soda and I have a great red. Nothing better than a place I can call home when I leave the house.

Incredible selection of interesting, unusual or hard to find wines at reasonable prices. The owners were both knowledgeable and helpful with good recommendations. Great space that is very comfty and cozy.

Their food needs improvement though as the gourmet meats and cheeses were not gourmet at all. They were fresh and good but baby swiss and muenster are hardly the selection I would have expected to find served here. The fruits served with fruit and cheese plate were excellent and delicious but again, the cheese were grocery store quality.

Wonderful new spot. We look forward to going again.

I live right around the corner from this place and didn't know that they finally opened up! My friend went there once and absolutely loved it! I went there a few days ago with her and I can see why she loves this place.

When we went it was semi-busy and KP helped us pick out some wines. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the wines but he tried every one of those wines on his shelves. (BTW, the decor is very cozy, as most of the reviews mentioned very tuscan, wine cellar like).

Anyways he took the time to have us taste several wines until we found the one we wanted to drink that night. He was very patient with us even though he had other customers come in shortly after us.

This place is just simply amazing! They let you bring in your own food, and the fact that their wines aren't sold at retail elsewhere is great because I love trying new wines. Bravo for a job well done! We needed this in our area!

Ive been to this wine bar a few times now, and every experience has been a great one! Ambiance in the bar is awesome, you feel like your in a wine cellar and they are continuously adding to it. The owner, KP, has introduced me to knew wines that Ive never tried before. Last time I visited, they had added beer, now all they have to do is add liquor.

A) Enjoy a new wine by yourself
B) Have an intimate spot for you and your friends or on a date
C) Smoke a cigar or hookah
D) Bring dinner or have dinner delivered from a near by restaurant. (had dinner there last night with a perfect wine pairing)
E) My girlfriend's favorite blood orange mimosa's(brownie points)

When you walk in and smell the wine stained floor you know you are in the right place.

Winetopia is cozy yet contemporary! The staff is very helpful and friendly, answering as many questions about wine as needed. The selection of wine is very unique, and its a great place to take a date or even a group of friends. I had a great experience, and I am sure I will be visiting more in the future.

Modeled in a Spanish Tuscan-style building resembling a wine cellar in Houston's Galleria district, winetopia is Houston's newest wine bar.

First off, I love every detailed aspect of winetopia, also known as "the tope", including the building and the neighborhood. The ambiance is great, everything from the waterfall behind the bar to the dimly lighted seating area to the speaker system / subwoofers. I also love their music selection of House / Jazz. Also, if I want to go out and enjoy the houston fall breeze i can go sit outside on the patio and enjoy a glass of wine. Also, Im not a big fan of spending $15 for a glass of wine, so luckily winetopia also has a plentiful of options in my price range.

As far as my experience is concerned, I think this wine bar is the best for people new to wine. I was new to wine, however KP was very educational in informing what's out there and what I may like. Before winetopia I only stuck to white wines because i never tried to the good red wines. However I am now loving red wines after KP showed me a few of the good cabernets & malbecs. Sometimes I dont mind coming by myself because I can just sit in the bar area and meet other wine enthusiasts. It's definitely a great place to meet people.

If had to come up with a con, it would be that Winetopia has a limited food menu. However they are BYOF so a group of us can go across the street to Pizza hut and grab a pizza and come back and eat it at the wine bar. KP will even recommend a good wine that will go with whatever food you bring.

Conclusion: Winetopia is a place to escape and explore the world of wines. It's a great place to chill, relax and have a conversation.

This place is perfectly located close to my house so it was a no brainer to go and check it out. Once I got there, I was amazed to see the selection. Talking to KP and Steven (who by the way really know their stuff) really helped me to learn which wines would suit my taste buds. The place is really nice on the inside, wide and spacious. The most impressive thing is that they have wines that are from independent wineries so you can't find them at the local liquor shop. I will definitely go back to Winetopia again. It is what the doctor ordered!

What can I say about Winetopia? It is a wonderful place with an amazing selection of wines. As you walk in, you feel as if you are walking into a Tuscany. The brick work, the wood structure and an amazing water fall behind the bar...I give this bar 5 stars!!!! The staff is super friendly and helpful, they are ready to help you and give you wonderful suggestions if you are new to wine or a expert. The location is perfect and in the heart of the Galleria area, another cool thing about this place is that there is FREE WIFI...yeah seriously which wine bar has that!?!?!?! I know where I'll be hanging out from now on....check it out Houston it's not worth missing!

Fabulous is the perfect word to describe the Winetopia in the Galleria Area of Houston, TX. As soon as you enter the ambiance is great!!! They have a great wine selection from all different parts of the world. Various red and white wine choices and at all different price ranges. There is something for everyone! I am not much of a wine drinker, but they took the time to ask what type of wine I liked (do you like dry wines? or do you like sweeter wines?) and then made some great suggestions. The staff was professional, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. It is the perfect place to meet friends after a long day of work!

Winetopia was AMAZING. Coming from a person that is not a wine drinker, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. KP and Steven were great to my friends and I to tell us alot about everything. My friends and I tried 2 different flights to find our range of wines we liked and LOVED it. We came in just to check it out and next thing you know....we were there for hours.

Great people and even better wines.....definitely on the top of my favorite places to go to in Houston!

Ive been to all the wine bars in Houston, and I gotta tell ya Winetopia is by far the best Wine Bar in town. I will not even get into their amazing wine list yet. The service you get from Steven and KP is rare nowadays. As soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted by Steven, Winetopia's manager/wine-tender/wine expert, and KP Winetopia's other manager who is just as knowledgeable.

Steven and KP both came right up to me and my friends and introduced themselves and began explaining personally to all of us about their wines and the concept of Winetopia. The ambiance when you come in is so inviting and soothing that you almost automatically feel like your in your own private cellar. The beautiful arched seating next to racks of wine, and the soft ambient light really give you that cellar-like environment. The exquisite granite bar sits in-front of this gorgeous cascading waterfall.

Steven walked me though the wines and explained how everything was structured and I proceeded to discover that this has to be one of the most amazing if not the most amazing wine selections I have ever come across in this town! There were only a couple of wines that I recognized however for the most part I could not recognize any of the wine they had. It was like discovering a whole new world! I had so many questions and both KP and Steven were quick to answer all my questions and even let us pick out our own flights.

We each chose a different set of flight as to allow us to all try 25 different wines for only $15 a flight. Every single one of the wines we truly awesome!!! I have never before tasted that number of wines picked randomly and have liked every single one. There were even wines that I know I would have never thought I would like such as this Brachetto from Italy that was only $26 a bottle and it blew my mind. I am not one who like sweet wine however I had to admit that that Brachetto was tasty and you better believe that it was among one of many wines I took home with me.

The most amazing thing about Winetopia's wine selection is that there is truly something for EVERYONE! It doesn't matter if you know absolutely nothing about wine or if your a certified wine sommelier such as myself. The selection, pricing, and service is like none other I highly recommend any and everyone to go and check them out! They even let us bring in our own food from Bisto Don Camilio right down the street. Nina the nice young waitress came and brought us plates and napkins and made sure we needed and wanted for nothing,

I don't know what more I can say about my new home away from home. I hope to see you there...
